11. It's not like Queen Bey to speak up on her romantic life, but she did in one rare interview.

In an October 2008 Essence Magazine Interview Beyoncé spoke about her relationship with Jay Z saying; "What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real." She also revealed the reason they didn't get engagement rings; "People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material, and it’s just silly to me".
